Description
This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy is keeping the summer of craft malt going with Jesse Bussard from the Craft Maltsters Guild in Bozeman, MT; Vince Tursi from Dssolvr Brewery in Asheville, NC; Erik Youngren from Skagit Valley Malting in Burlington WA; and Brent Manning from Riverbend Malthouse in Asheville, NC.To kick things off, the gang introduces us to the South by Northwest project, spearheaded by Erik and Brent. As maybe one of the first malt collaborations ever, the two explain how the exchange has helped educate on the different growing seasons across the country. Brent then gives us some context with how he got started, and he and Erik highlight some of the first beers to feature their malt. Vince also chimes in to highlight the underlying malt presence in some of his lagers. After the break, Jesse shouts out the annual craft malt conference and how breweries can get in on the craft malt certified seal. Working towards that seal starts with a good quality crop, and Erik and Brent both explain how weather and regions pose lots of challenges. Vince also chimes in to explain how he extracted flavor profiles from the Talisman malt. To wrap things up, Vince almost makes Erik cry, and the gang gives us a sneak peek into future plans for the rest of the year.Photo Courtesy of Erik Youngren.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Episode 112: Hops and Bitter Beer: On this weeks Beer Sessions Radio, host Jimmy Carbone is talking about hops and alternative bittering agents in brewing. Ben Grainger of Bierkraft and Peter Kennedy of SimplyBeer.com are in the studio, talking about the hops that they grow at home, and how they incorporate them into their brewing processes. Joe and Dennis Fisher are also on the show discussing their book, The Homebrewers Garden. Tune in to hear about bittering herbs that you can grow right in your yard. Are you interested in brewing botanicals? Then this is the show for you! This show was sponsored by GreatBrewers.com. [Gruits and grodziskies] are brewed without hops; theyre brewed with other bittering spices. Classic gruit is horehound, mugwort, heather- there can be sorts of stuff inside of it. -- Ben Grainger on Beer Sessions Radio When hops came over, they were not universally embraced immediately. The was kind of a culture war, and the ones who favored hops ultimately won. -- Joe by Beer Sessions Radio (TM)
